Is there any oragin behinde the tree with bangages on in the forest? Looks so creepy...
Did the children do it? I dont think so because its just off site. Before you go into the section with the hand i think.

I don't think there is.. besides being weird and strange. Unless Walter was also a tree-hugger.

Someone brought this up before and Robbie-Kun had a great explination. Something about a certain tribe I believe.

Let's wait for The Adversary, he'll know.

do trees ever represent life? or wisdom because of their possible age?

Nah, Robbie-Kun has a rather good explanation that I believe is sufficient.

[spoiler]10 seconds bullshit:
Trees symbolize maternality. Eileen is the Holy Mother sacrifice, and she has bandages from Walter's beating. Thus the tree has bandages.

Swing & a miss...

I get what you're saying. I just felt like being an ass.

because the tree is sick thats tree didn't have any effect on the game, just a horror plus poin from konami. just like blood on the floor, doll on the wall, flesh on the refrigator, shaking window, etc. nothing special...

>I just felt like being an ass.
Ah, gotchya. I was hoping that was the case--I assumed you knew I was too.

Of course. Now lets get back on topic.

walter certainly looks like a tree hugger, ( peace)

it seems like someone was pissedoff

because walter is a psycho, when he want to kill and nobody around him, he will start cutting the tree but then he tied the tree with bandage.

hell yeah he is that screwed up

It's just an element to Walter's nightmare/dream world. Don't look for symbolism or anything. It's there for just being creepy, that's all.

Stop thread-necroing.

It's ok to bring up an old thread, but please do so with something more then a single statement that's practically already been stated in the thread.

My idea is that the bandages on the trees signify the painful memories and experiences Walter endured while he was there.

This is not really a theory per se, but I haven't studied too deeply into it yet.
